First swing's the charm
The Meadows resident Marina Lagasse hadn't played mini golf in more than a year when she decided to spend her Friday off work at The Fish Hole at Lakewood Ranch with playing partner Kyle Washburn.
But Washburn, a frequent mini golf player, had a feeling it would be her lucky day. When Lagasse teed off on the fifth hole, Washburn's hunch came to fruition.
"It felt great," Lagasse said. "I was counting on myself to make a hole-in-one today."
